Mircea Lucescu Suffered a Heart Attack Today

Medical sources told ProSport that the former national team coach suffered a heart attack this morning at the hospital.

It all happened Friday morning, when Lucescu Sr. was set to be discharged from the hospital following recent health issues.

Mircea Lucescu, 80, fainted Sunday at the national team’s training camp during the technical meeting preceding the final practice before the team’s departure for Slovakia.

Since then, the head coach has been hospitalized at the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital for monitoring and specialized treatment. This week, he underwent the implantation of a defibrillator.
